Customer Review: Excellent for tying literature to mathematics.
Excellent for tying literature to mathematics. Children love these books and so do I!
Customer Review: Even in Middle School they still like to be read to
This whole series of books is wonderful. The story line for a middle school level is somewhat elementary, but the students still LOVE them. They remember the terms and even bring them up during lessons. I think even at the middle school levels, the kids really like being read to and these books ,as silly as they seem when read at that level, help solidify these key geometry concepts in a fun kind of way. They take about 10-15 minutes to read out loud. Highly recommend! : Princess Toys
